How to reduce scars after breast augmentation surgery
Breast augmentation surgery has become a common cosmetic surgery in modern medicine, which can help women improve breast shape and increase self-confidence. However, certain scars may occur after surgery, which is a concern for many women. The following will introduce some methods to reduce scars in detail from aspects such as postoperative nursing, medication, physiotherapy and surgical techniques.
Postoperative care
Postoperative nursing is the key step to reduce scars. After the first day of surgery, the patient needs to rest and avoid strenuous exercise. The surgical site should be kept dry and clean, and avoid external friction. Patients should wear loose clothing to avoid the bondage of tight clothing, which is conducive to the healing of postoperative wounds. At the same time, special postoperative chest support can be used to reduce the pressure on the surgical site and promote wound healing.
From the next day, the patient can take appropriate activities, but should avoid strenuous exercise. Keeping a regular routine and good eating habits will help to heal the wound after surgery. In addition, patients should also regularly go to the hospital for further consultation, follow the doctor's advice, and deal with problems in a timely manner.
In postoperative nursing, some drugs and physiotherapy can also be used to promote wound healing.
medication
In order to reduce the formation of scars, drugs can be used to promote wound healing after surgery. The main drug ingredients are some drugs with anti-inflammatory, detumescence and antibacterial effects. These drugs can be taken orally or externally.
Of course, we should follow the doctor's guidance and dosage requirements when using drugs, and avoid excessive use or long-term use to avoid side effects.
Physiotherapy
Physical therapy can effectively promote wound healing and reduce scar formation. Common physical therapy includes hot compress, cold compress, massage, negative pressure suction, etc.
Hot compress can expand blood vessels, promote blood circulation and accelerate the metabolism of wounds. Cold compress can reduce postoperative pain and swelling, and relieve patients' discomfort. Massage can promote lymph circulation and reduce congestion. The negative pressure suction can make the tissue more compact and reduce the formation of scars through the role of negative pressure.
Physiotherapy can be carried out by selecting appropriate methods according to the specific conditions of patients, but it also needs to be carried out under the guidance of doctors.
Surgical techniques
The surgical technique of breast augmentation surgery is also one of the important factors to reduce scars. The proper surgical incision and operation mode can make the wound smaller and more concealed.
In modern medicine, there are many different ways of breast augmentation surgery, such as underarm approach, areola approach, etc. Among them, the subaxillary approach can make the wound under the armpit and reduce the exposure of the wound in the anterior chest; The areola approach allows the incision to be located around the areola, making scars difficult to detect. When selecting the surgical method, the doctor will determine the most suitable method according to the specific situation and needs of the patient.
Summary
How to reduce scars after breast augmentation surgery can be solved through postoperative nursing, drug treatment, physical therapy and surgical techniques. Postoperative care requires patients to reasonably arrange rest and activities to keep the wound dry and clean. Drug therapy can promote wound healing through anti-inflammatory, detumescent and antibacterial drugs. Physical therapy can reduce the formation of scars by means of hot compress, cold compress, massage, negative pressure suction, etc. Surgical techniques require doctors to select appropriate surgical methods and incisions according to the specific conditions of patients to make scars more hidden. To sum up, the scar after breast augmentation surgery can be reduced to a certain extent by using these methods comprehensively.
